Workshop Series on the implementation of the EU GDPR Data Protection and the Energy Sector: the example of smart grids. 21 March 2017 Lisbon Conference Room, Lower Ground Floor Institute for European Studies, VUB 5 Pleinlaan, 1050, Brussel By registration only ([email protected]) This workshop is aimed at increasing sensibility of data protection in the energy sector and to raise awareness. The example of smart grids, collecting sensitive information of individuals will play a central role in the workshop. Experts in the areas of energy and data protection will present their views, followed by an interactive discussion. A re-organisation of the energy market is on the way and related challenges are not quite clear yet. Who will be a service provider in the future market, who will collect data in the energy sector? What are the main challenges? How can the objective of more efficient energy use by individuals – sometimes enabled by big data analysis – be balanced with the need for privacy?
